In 1927 itself, the British Government announced the appointment of a seven-member Statutory Commission, under the chairmanship of Sir John Simon, to report on the condition of India under its new Constitution.
All the members of the Commission were British and hence, all the parties boycotted the Commission. The Commission submitted its report in 1930 and recommended the abolition of diarchy, extension of responsible government in the Provinces, establishment of a Federation of British India and Princely States, continuation of communal electorate and so on.
To consider the proposals of the Commission, the British Government convened three Round Table Conferences of the representatives of the British Government, British India and Indian Princely States. On the basis of these discussions, a ‘White Paper on Constitutional Reforms’ was prepared and submitted for the consideration of the Joint Select Committee of the British Parliament. The recommendations of this committee were incorporated (with certain changes) in the next Government of India Act of 1935.
